In honor of the Olympics kicking off today (Opening Ceremony is on live right now!!) AND Asher kicking off Day 1 of the Wisconsin 12&Under Long Course State Swimming Championship meet this afternoon, here's a little inspirational story I saved the other day. (I have heard other, simpler versions of this story, but I like… Continue reading Soar like the eagle you are 🙂
Today is the last day of summer school already! I know Asher started a week late, but these last few weeks have flown by. This morning he wraps it up. He has seemed to REALLY enjoy it, despite "being the only boy" in a couple of his art classes. I'm glad to see him enthused… Continue reading 3 Things Thursday: School, workouts, covid
I finally tackled cleaning out my closet. Ivan, his brother and Ethan went to a local professional soccer game last night (they were playing against a Mexican team!), and I stayed home with Asher. He had swim practice (carpool- so I didn't have to drive), so I decided to seize the moment of an empty… Continue reading Living with my small closet and Bucks WIN!
This was the first weekend in a long time that we had a pretty wide open/ empty weekend. (Well, after Asher's Regional swim meet on Friday night, anyway.) I was almost giddy with excitement at the idea of just having large spans of time with NO plans again. Next weekend is Asher's State for swimming,… Continue reading Did/ Did Not List
5 random things I have either done this week or been thinking about: The Olympics I am greatly looking forward to the Olympics starting next week! Opening ceremonies are Friday, July 23. I am pretty bummed that there won't be any spectators, though!!! After the whole delay thing last summer, I was really hoping, for… Continue reading Friday 5: Random
I had a quick appointment yesterday morning on the other side of town, and Asher had summer school. So, a few days ago I asked Ethan if he wanted to come along, and said maybe after we could stop by the zoo, just the two of us. Our city has a fairly small but still… Continue reading Solo outing with Ethan! 🙂
Birthday Recap: The birthday boy seemed to have a nice day. Admittedly, it was a bit low key on his actual day yesterday. But, that is just the reality of life (with working parents, at least). Might as well learn now that the entire world does not stop because it's your birthday. 🙂 Granted, we… Continue reading B-day Recap and Better Time Blocking
I have a teenager. A 13 year-old. What in the WHAT just happened?!?!?!??! Ethan at 10 days old I am seriously having the hardest time wrapping my head around this. Not that this is "brand new information"...I mean, they turn 1, then 2, then 3....and so on and so forth. I have personally experienced 37… Continue reading TEEN
The boys are both extremely excited for TODAY. They both have long-awaited social events coming up. • Ethan has his sleepover birthday party tonight! His 3 best friends are coming over around 1:30 this afternoon and will be staying until basically whenever the parents want them home tomorrow. The plan is to go to our… Continue reading Exciting Weekend Social Events
Just jumping on quick before I dive into an afternoon of work. I took the morning off to get a haircut and color. I might be weird, but I hate getting my hair done. I really do not enjoy it at all. It takes too long, it's boring, I find sitting next to the stylist… Continue reading Haircut + Documentaries
